Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua

The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua Robusto is a medium to full-bodied cigar, measuring 5 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge, handcrafted at the renowned Plasencia factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. This Nicaraguan puro, released in 2018 as a line extension of the iconic Romeo y Julieta 1875 blend, features a reddish-brown, oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, paired with a Nicaraguan binder and fillers, all sourced from Plasencia’s farms. The result is a bold yet balanced smoke with a complex flavor profile: initial draws reveal a toasty core of oak and cedar, followed by notes of graham cracker, milk chocolate, and caramel, with a subtle peppery spice weaving through the experience. Earthy undertones and hints of leather emerge mid-smoke, complemented by a touch of baking spices on the finish, making it a modern twist on the classic Romeo y Julieta profile. Known for its impeccable construction, the cigar offers an even burn and a smooth draw, though some smokers have noted occasional touch-ups may be needed. Earning a 90-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua Robusto is a favorite for those seeking a richer, more contemporary take on a storied brand.
